LETTERS TO ) THE | EDITOR.

A Complaint.

Sim, —I wish to call your attention to the careless manner in which Overseer Stewart, Peter's Road, discharges his duties to* the public. Nothing is of more importance, luring such weather as we have been ex- periencing for the past few days, than the faithful performance of his ‘duty by. the overseer in the matter of road-breaking. \t any moment the poor countryman may be foreed to come into town for clergyman or doctor, and if the roads are not broken in the districts through which he has to pass, the sick party may have gone to join the great majority before the looked-for aid is received. 1 cannot too highly commend the promptitude of the overseers of Cove- head and Little York districts, through which I passed yesterday. [ am_ sorry to

st

inform you, however, that the same cannot be said of overseer Stewart. On Saturday last the roads in_ his district were not opened up _ before

| o’eloek in the afternoon, and yesterday at {1 o'clock. The. traveller avas obliged to

ein in his horse before his very door and vait «a considerable time to have ) the road opened, And where was Mr. Stewart himself ? Aw ay in his own fields while a half dozen

boys played themselves in the snowbanks, he, as overseer, should have seen removed before the sun was half up in the eastern sky. This is not the first time we have had to comple ain of the state of affairs in Mr. Stewart’s district, and it is to be hoped that in the future he will make an effort to

sive people better satistaction in this re- gard. Very truly yours, VIATOR. Royalty East, March, 1, 1887.

the Vermont Disaster.

Mr. David Remillard, a well-known die manufacturer of Brockton, Mass., who was one of the few passengers on the Central Vermont train which was recently wrecked

ear Hartford, Vt., who escaped without injury, has returned from Montreal. His experience gives rise to a new theory as tu the cause of the disaster, and discloses one facts not brought out in the commis- sioners’ investigation at White River Junc- tion. Mr. Remillard states that when the (vain was on the bridge the conductor told him that they were running faster than they oughtto. He then reached up and pulled the signal cord. This was followed by so sudden a slacking of speed that Mr. Remillard was thrown off his feet, and in- tantly the rear cars left the track. Mr. Remillard is confident that it was the sud- den. slackening of speed that caused the cars to rebound from the track. Both the engineer and fireman have testified to hear- ing the signal in the cab, to the immediate _pplication of air brakes, and to see the cars topple over the bridge, but this is the first intimation that the cars had not left the track when the signal was given.

or two

A recent number of the Pravitelstvenny Vyestnik, published in St. Petersburg, an- nounces the issue of a decree setting free the whole of the slaves in the khanate of Bok- hara. The movement which has thus happily culminated in an important stroke for civili- zation in Central Asia began in 1873, in which year the late Emir Seid Musafar made a pledge for the abolition of slavery within his dominion, and fixed aterm of ten years for giving effect to the reform, In earnest of his sincerity, the Emir took active steps

against the dealers in _ slaves and ucceeded in breaking up several notorious markets. But while the sources of supply remained untouched, his

efforts, though they made the. slave trade dif- failed to secure its abolition. The brought into Bokhara were almost ‘xclusively Persians, who had been handed over to the dealers by the Turcomans of the Achat-Tekke and Merv oases. So long as these oases were swept as far as the very bor- ders of Persia by the robber tribes of. the Central Asian desert, the Emir felt that his

The ceremony of laying the corner stone of the Canadian Chureh College, took place in Rome on the 24th, Cardina Stoweat otticia- na. Among those present were Cardinal

(ribbons, Cardinal Tachereau, Mgr. Azarian (patriarch of the Armenian Catholics), Mgr. O'Connell (of the American college), Mgr. O'Cailaghan (English college), Mgr. Jacobini (of the propagandi), Father Captier, and a o anadian deputation. The church was dedi-

f Canadian money, a m vedal representing the pope and madonna, and a larger one repre- euting the pope and restoration of the lateran.

In the House of Commons, on the 21st inst., Mr. Edward Stanhope, secretary for war, stated that the government had ordered the p urchase of horses in Canada, with the objeet of developing markets in which, in case of

mobilization, it would be possible to draw a portion of the large supply which would be required. The war office, at the same time, desired to encourage, in every way the supply of home breed of horses for the army. The

vernment experiences great difficulty in

aining suitable horses for the cavalry and

: title ry in England at a stated price of £45. Che horses already received from Canada

ied out remarkably well, and consequently government has ordered a further supply.

A Dangerous Counterfeit.

The United States Mint, at Philadelphia, has secured a counterfeit 32.50 gold piece of 1852, for which it has been in quest for years for the purpose of compl tirg its cabinet, It was presented to Superintendent Fox by L. H. Taylor & Co., the bankers, who got it in a lot of $10,000 from the sub-treasur y. The gold was forwarded to New York ie the afternoon, and this one piece was returned as a coun- terfeit. At the Philadelphia bank it was pronounced genuine, and the acid test at)

| |

the sub-treasury failed to show it any- thing but good. At the mint, however, the assayer declared it a counterfeit—one of the

most dangerous spurious gold coins ever made, “It contains only 27 cents worth of gold,” he said, ‘‘yet its we ight is that of the real article toa hair. Its size is exactly the same, save | that the genuine coin is slightly thinner at! the middle than the counterfeit, and it has | the true ring of the pure metal. We have been looking for an example or this counter- feit for 10 or 15 years to place in our cabinet | here. I readily recognized it by the head ! upon it. That style head of Liberty was not printed upon the $2.50 pieces of 1852.
